Old site vs. New Site

Navigating this one is a pain in the ass.

Also it's hard to look at.

Quoting looks like utter shit...............

Old site. My Bulbasaur avatar is gone. I do not know who I am anymore.

Still not sure why they wanted to do this...

Even the new poll is shit.

We can't see how many people voted? Wtf?

Old. They have the potential to be better, but there really is nothing very interesting about this new site.

Yeah, I just noticed this.

Christ this thing is a mess. Even the poll looks awful.

What high school drop-out designed this crap?

The old site, for sure.

What? The new design is terrible.

There are so many more unnecessary things, it's harder to navigate, and it's harder to look at.

I guess once people get their sigs and avatars in it will be little easier to look at posts.

I can live with the new site. It has potential.

I don't know who you are, and I like that.

I REALLY preffer the old version... and i liked account leveling.

Old. This thing is ugly as sin.

The redesign sucks ass bro, I'm seriously considering Immigrating to IGN now.

I will use it a few days and then vote.

Me too, IGN now souds attempting. Gamespot should had talked with the community before change everything.

This site isnt even done yet. This is merely a shell of whats to come. Relax, people. This is much cleaner and more "modern", if such a term can be used for this. Cant wait to see whats in store.

I'm likin' nutcrackr's sig.

it says right there (21 votes) and then the percentages of those 21 votes. Sure you can't see the amount until you vote.

The main site looks ugly and difficult to spot articles, along with navigating the site. Reading through these posts is kind of a pain as well.

old version

Define modern.

This is beyond skewed at this point. The new site has been up for a few hours. People shouldn't judge at this point.

Then why release it in this stage?

I like the overall look, but finding things is ridiculous.

so far not impressed. but i'll give it time so they can fix bugs and whatnot. but they better do it soon. and i miss my level. :(

Haha me too. i tried to do something similar but it didnt work like his. i had text going off to the right and off the screen =P

I guess Ill enjoy my lvl that took 8 years to aquire while it lasts....then leave

I don't know, there are things I like and don't like. I think in the end I'll like this new site more though once the bugs are worked out and I adjust to it.

One thing I like is that the forums are incredibly mobile friendly compared to the old forums.

Edit: There is no button at the bottom of a thread to return to the topic list. That is really annoying.

This is far from cleaner. There's more crap all over the place.

And if it's not done, why the hell did they release it now?

@nutcrackr: Seems like a smart way to approach change.

so have they gotten rid of the whole level system?

That's the point. We can look back at this thread a year from now and laugh at how one-sided it is.

Hopefully we'll laugh.

Yeah, we'll laugh.

This is garbage. There are some positives however the actual look of the site and the navigation is just so bad. Why couldn't they have just left the old forum layout and profile page for the most part alone and just changed the homepage and added a few insanely must have important things like a facebook/twitter link. Forums aren't supposed to look modern and if anything, it will actually turn people away.

Old site hands down. Looking at this make me facepalm so much that they shouldn't haven't changed at all.

it would be understandable if the site was at least stable.

but its not.

Lol

I kind of like the way the content is organized for reviews and news articles...the forums on the other hand...

I'll look back and laugh at this obvious damage control.

Most of us will leave...

I haven't had any bugs yet but the navigation and UI is terrible.

I like many checked in daily for the top stories and stuff particularly news related. This new site lumps everything together and removes top stories. That old feature should have remained. Honestly don't know why it had to be removed

Disappointed with how the forums look.

And I hate that I can't even find Psp games, wii games or any old systems that some people want to search for. ugh failed Gamespot...

I just want a function saying "Go back to the old site" option. I don't want the multimedia. I come here for quick blips of goodness. I don't watch the videos. I don't watch the "cool" girl gamers talk. I want concise articles that are informative and timely.

Seriously eyeballing IGN for my news now. Kinda sucks.

It's an unintuitive mess that is aesthetically awful.

PC link is broken under Games... er it was now it works...

Some intermittent server errors

Old site.

This new site is awful. Navigation is definitely the biggest issue right now for me.

This new site sucks ass so far. It loads WAY slower than the old site for me and I keep getting errors. Hell I had to page back 4 times just to get this thread to load. First time I got a "file not found". The next three times just loaded an blank white page.
